AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCeuta Border Crisis: Around 72,000 migrants surged into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on July 30–31, overwhelming a city of about 83,000; roughly 70,000 were pushed back to Morocco soon after, but dozens died and hundreds of unaccompanied minors remained, while a new Aug. 15 crossing rumour spread via fake social media posts. EU Migration Politics: The episode triggered emergency EU meetings, Schengen tensions, and fresh accusations between Spain and other member states, as misinformation and online mobilisation were blamed for turning a legal and humanitarian issue into a political flashpoint. Sahrawi Cultural & Human Rights: Polisario-linked Summer University participants visited Algiers’ Grand Mosque, while a human-rights delegation from occupied territories described detention, home sieges, and the role of young women in resistance. Western Sahara & Infrastructure: A U.S.-branded “President Donald J. Trump Highway” in the occupied Sahara is framed as more than a name—an asphalt link to phosphate extraction and wider Rabat–Washington–Tel Aviv interests. Church in Rabat: The Holy See appointed an apostolic administrator for Rabat amid allegations involving Cardinal López Romero, with the administrator also serving as apostolic prefect of Western Sahara.
